Peer Leadership
The purpose of the Peer Leadership Program is to provide an opportunity for participating ninth and twelfth graders to share experiences and common concerns which surround a student's life in High School. Senior Peer Leaders undergo extensive training in preparing for their ninth grade discussion groups; each Peer Group is led by two co-leaders and is no larger than twelve people.
Encouraging individuals to think and act for themselves in a manner sensitive to the needs of others is a primary goal of the program. Groups meet on a weekly basis from late September until Spring Break. Though voluntary, membership in a Peer Group is strongly encouraged, and in past years, virtually the entire ninth grade has participated. Ninth graders are more fully introduced to the Peer Leadership Program (as well as the Peer Leaders) during ninth grade orientation and on the ninth grade retreat at the beginning of the year.
